Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
The count of new messages in the folder overview seems to be
fundamentally broken, at least for IMAP folders.
I believe that the issue is related to bugs #428734 and #432148. But as
you closed #428734 with the upload of mutt 1.5.16-3, and #432148 is
somewhat different, I decided to open a new bugreport.
I also have to admit that the bug exists since a long long time, and I
don't know whether the new message count worked as expected once at all.
When I browse the folder-overview with 'y' or with a macro defined as
'<change-folder>?<tab>', I get the list of all mailboxes defined in my
muttrc, but the count of new messages is always 0 for remote IMAP
folders, and for local Maildir folders I don't even get a count at all:
1 0 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/admin
2 0 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/caughtspam
3 0 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/jonas
4 0
imaps://imapserver/INBOX/list.debian.alioth.pkg.python
5 0
imaps://imapserver/INBOX/list.debian.devel
6 0
imaps://imapserver/INBOX/list.debian.private
[...]
22 0 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/postponed
23 0 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/send
24 drwx------ 5 jonas jonas 4.0K Feb 27 2006 ~/Maildir/
Additionally, the buffy-list feature sometimes doesn't work correctly.
It usually prints a list of all folders containing new mail, but
sometimes it only prints some of the folders with new mail.
This is very annoying, as I have to go through all folders to check for
new mail if I can rely neither on buffy-list nor on the new message
count in the folder overview.
The imap server is running courier-imap(-ssl) 4.1.1.20060828-5 on
debian/etch.
If you need any additional information, or if you want me to do further
debugging steps, pleas let me know.
I also can send you a stripped down version of my .muttrc (without the
personal parts).
greetings,
jonas

Folks,
I am closing all pre-jessie bugs as the courier package as there are
simply too many of those and they might have been already fixed in
recent releases. I am sorry to do so, but the courier package had seen
the last upload from respective maintainer in 2014 and it has been NMUed
several times since then, and I am just doing some basic maintenance
work, and I don't have neither time nor motivation to check whether bugs
from 2000-2010 are still valid.
If you care about your bug, please retest with recent version in Debian
unstable, and if you are able to reproduce, please reopen it and tag
with "found <bugnum> 0.76.3-2". I'll try my best to resolve the bug if I
have a spare time.
The courier is in desperate need of a maintainer who actually uses
courier mta. Or at least a co-maintainer that could test the changes
before pushing them forward.
Cheers,
